The Register – OPINION/EDITORIAL – Guide for the perplexed – Google is no longer the best search engine
Quote:However, only when an AI engine gives you the sources of its answers as well as an answer, will Google search face a major threat. That alpha competitor is Perplexity.
Besides giving you what looks like an answer, Perplexity gives you the exact search results you need to see if the answer is right. Spoiler alert: AI answers are still wrong far too often for you to rely on. But, armed with the research Perplexity used to come up with those answers, you can work out the real answers.
That, my friends, is a killer app.
